Ingredients Amount Measure Ingredient 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 1/2 ounces Soy Protein Powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup chocolate chips, semi sweet, Ghirardelli 2 cups, mashed bananas 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon almond extract Steps Sequence Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees (325 for a glass pan). Lightly spray a standard sized loaf pan with nonstick spray. 2 Place the flour, protein powder, salt, baking powder and sugar in a medium-sized bowl, and stir thoroughly until combined. Stir in chocolate chips. 3 In a second bowl, combined the mashed ripe bananas, eggs, vanilla and almond extract, and stir with a whisk or fork until combined. 4 Add banana mixture to the dry ingredients and stir from the bottom of the bowl until everything is thoroughly blended. The batter will be stiff. 5 Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, patting it into place with a dinner knife and shaping it so that it is gently mounded in the center. 6 Bake in the center of the oven for 45 minutes (for a damper, more puddinglike bread) to 1 hour (for a drier loaf). 7 Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then rap pan sharply to remove the bread, and cool on a rack for at least another 20 minutes before slicing.
